What kind of headphones do you wear?

Sony 'fashion' earbuds that were on sale for $5 at Kmart.

I jam econo. :| I have to get a new pair every three months anyways, I consistently break them.

lol, I've had the same pair of dollar store earbuds that I use for my MP3 player for at least 6 months, they still do the trick

econo is the way to go

Sennheiser eh 150's. They're a pretty good mid-range product as far as the quality to price ratio goes. They provide decent bass, they're sturdy, and comfortable. No complaints so far.

I listen to music on headphones almost always because you can hear sounds you wouldn't get to hear from a pair of speakers. I have had many pairs of headphones from Sony studio monitor style, to Aiwa ear buds, but my latest pair of Stanton DJ pro60's are easily the best sounding pair I have ever heard! Great frequency response and I love that Stanton only deals with audio, so the quality is much better.

Some old school sennies HD414, the ones with the bright yellow pads

Anyone have these? Are they any good?
Thinking of putting them on my Christmas List.

Sorry man, that's just not true

.
But I must admit an affordable Headphone can sound really good compared to affordable speakers.
But there's no way my headphone beats any of my two 'serious' sets of speakers.
(and I haven't got an affordable headphone. I mean, it cost me $1,50 at a thrift store, but that was just crazy luck

).

Nah, DJ audio isn't home audio.
Their phono cartridges are actually pretty awful (especially the Celebrated Stanton 500, brrrr!)

Used to have those and they randomly broke. Sound quality was insane but only lasted around 6 months.

Exact same thing happened to me. They were great while they lasted, just didn't last very long. I know someone else who owned a pair and they had the same experience.

These are what I use most the time. They technically aren't mine, just sort of on permanent loan to me.
